A/N- Okay let's just pretend the Pill is the same in the wizarding world as it is in the muggle world okay. Sorry this has taken so long to get out and sorry it's so short , but I've had the worst case of writers block known to man and I'm just starting to write an original story which I hope to get published. But the next chapter will be better and longer. Please read and review.

House Elf Relations Chapter 8

" What ? Did you just say that you were pregnant ?" Hermione asked in shock , a feeling of dread creeping up in her. Lavender nodded her head miserably.

" How far along are you ?" Hermione asked praying that the answer wouldn't be a month.

" About a month." Lavender answered.

" So it's Draco's then ?" Hermione asked in a pained voice , silently wondering how something like this could be happening.

Lavender nodded her head once again , looking away.

"Does he know ?" Hermione asked , with tears forming in her eyes over the unfairness of it all.

" No , I just found out this morning." Lavender said , wiping tears from her face.

"Are you going to tell him ?" Hermione asked.

"Yes...eventually." Lavender said in shifty tone.

" What do you mean by eventually ?" Hermione asked not completely trusting Lavender at that moment.

" Well , this baby means that me and Draco could be tied together forever , all I have to do is not tell him until it's to late to get rid of it." Lavender said with a strange look in her eyes.

" You can't do that !" Hermione almost shouted at her. " If you don't tell him , I will."

" Oh , that's right , you and Draco are all best friendly now , I wonder how long it will be before he drops the act and gives up on you ?"

" What are you saying ?" Hermione asked defensively.

" What I'm saying is that if he doesn't get into your pants soon , he'll ditch you. Actually even if you do let him fuck you he'll still ditch you. He's done it before , to loads of girls , but not me , no we'll be together forever now." Lavender ranted with a crazed look in her eyes.

" Lavender I'm going to go and tell Draco now." Hermione said softly , while carefully edging towards the door.

" No , he'll make me get rid of it , please don't tell him , Hermione." Lavender pleaded , sinking to her knees and tugging on Hermione's sleeve.

" Lavender , he won't make you get rid of it , unless you want to." Hermione tried to explain to her but Lavender just dissolved into a sobbing mess.

" He will , I know he will. He'll be so mad at me." Lavender whined.

" Why , it was his responsibility to use protection , he's to blame for this as well." Hermione said , a little pissed at Draco's apparent stupidity.

" He wanted to but I told him I was on the pill and that there was nothing to worry about." Lavender said , getting up off her knees and pacing around the room.

" Well , if you're on the pill how did this happen ?" Hermione asked confused.

" Well , I kind of , accidentally forgot to take one the day before , but I took one the next day so that shouldn't of made a difference." Lavender whined.

" Shouldn't have made a difference , are you retarded or something , if you miss one you have to wait to weeks for it to become effective again. I'm not even on it and I knew that. So you could have gotten pregnant for a whole two weeks after you and Draco did it. He might not be the father." Hermione said , knowing that she was grasping at straws.

" He is the father , what do you take me for ? Some kind of slut?" Lavender said getting angry over at the insinuations Hermione was making.

" Well , yes." Hermione said bluntly.

" GET OUT !" Lavender screamed at Hermione , pushing her out of the room and slamming the door in her face.

" I gotta find Ginny." Hermione muttered to herself as she walked down to the common room. Where she spotted Ginny in a heated argument with her older brother. Ginny gasped when she saw Hermione's distraught expression , Ron on the other hand walked over and sneered at her. " What's the matter ? Did little Drakie finally dump you ?"

" Oh , piss off , Ron." Ginny snapped as she pushed past him and put a arm around Hermione's shoulders. Ron just glared at them and then went over to join Seamus and Dean in the corner.

" Come on , we'll go up to my room." Ginny said leading Hermione back up the stairs. When they entered the room they found Melissa Barnes sitting on her bed painting her toenails. Melissa took one look at Hermione and said. " So you've finally joined the Draco Malfoy cast off club."

" Shut up." Hermione snapped at her , before storming over to Ginny's bed and pulling the curtains closed around it.

" Melissa , would you mind clearing out of here for a while ?" Ginny asked patiently , she did like Melissa much , she was too much like Lavender for her tastes , but she knew that Melissa would refuse a direct order.

" Hmmm , actually I do mind , my nails aren't dry yet." Melissa said sarcastically. " If she wants to have a mental breakdown can't she do it in her own room."

Ginny just shook her head at her roommates' selfishness and placed a silencing charm around her bed before parting the curtains and slipping inside with Hermione.

"What's the matter ?" She asked as she pulled the curtains closed again.

" Lavender's pregnant." Hermione said sadly.

" Oh , how pregnant exactly ?" Ginny asked cautiously.

" About a month." Hermione replied , struggling to hold back tears.

" So that means it's probably Draco's , but that doesn't make any sense , he always uses protection , he's very careful about it." Ginny said , furrowing her brow in confusion.

" She told him that she was on the Pill and she was but she'd forgotten to take it the day before and didn't know it takes two weeks to be effective again." Hermione explained bitterly.

"Has she told Draco yet ?" Ginny asked carefully , not wanting to set Hermione off.

" No , she says that she's not going to tell him until it's too late to get rid of it. Ginny what am I going to do ?" Hermione asked desperately.

" Well , first off , I'd punch the manipulative bitch out , but that's just me. Other than that , I think that you should tell Draco." Ginny told her , wishing that she could punch Lavender for causing her friend so much pain , too bad it was against what little morals she had to hit pregnant women.

" I'm going to , but I can't be with him when another girl is having his baby..." Hermione sobbed.

" Why can't you be with him ? It's not like he'd be cheating on Lavender or anything ?" Ginny asked , confused over her friends statement.

" I'd feel wrong , if they keep the kid , then I'll just be the other woman and I can't do that , I won't. I want to be with Draco , but he should be with the mother of his child." Hermione explained , with tears rolling down her cheeks.

" Hermione , we don't even know if Lavender's going to keep the baby , or if Draco's really the father . I mean come on , Lavender's like the school broomstick , everyone's had a ride. Don't break up with him over this , I think that he really loves you. The only way that he'd have anything to do with that baby , was if his father found out." Ginny told her , trying her best to convince Hermione not to break up with her boyfriend of 4 hours. Unaware that outside Melissa had put a eavesdropping charm on the bed and could hear every word being said inside.

" Well , well , looks like Draco is getting some of his own back." Melissa mused , a plan forming in her rather vindictive mind. As soon as her nails were dry , she'd go and find Lavender to tell her what she'd overheard.

A/N - Sorry this has taken so long and that it's so short but this chapter was just a bitch to write. Too bad no one got the Buffy quotes in the last chapter , although the cookie would not have been worth it anyway. I haven't used any quotes from other shows or anything in here so no cookies for quotes in this one. Thanks for everyone who's reviewed this so far , hopefully you'll continue to enjoy the story. I'll be posting the next chapter a few hours after this one.
